The big freeze
Eating the last of the urad dhall. I made it according to this Hari Krishna recipe. I really craved this during my first three months of pregnancy - which is NOT to say that i'm pregnant now - honest. But this may be the reason why Ghin loves curry. Even hot ones. It's really weird and funny. He'll take a scoop and then shout hot hot!!! and dowse it with water and then start all over again. The both boys are incredible fun and we went swimming today. They always over chlorinate the pools here. You feel like the Auschwitz inmates for the first three minutes. Then you get used to it. It cannot be good for people who have to work there. I actually gave UP swimming during my pregnancy with Oisin for that reason alone. That and the City Baths in Derry were like something out of Angela's Ashes. What a mash up eh? Auschwitz feat Angela's Ashes.
It is really really really cold. The coldest winter since 1982 or something like that. This is clearly a great opportunity to complain, as all extreme events are. Of course people don't complain about the most obvious thing - that the government is falling to bits, that the UK is bankrupt and as a country we live beyond our means, that the cupboard is bare and that we should really worry that another extreme event might expose as the runt of the Northern rump, no, they complain about how cold and awful it is and how they can't take the planes and how their cars won't start.
At this point a few people might just start shouting, so go back where you came from. I would, only that i don't know where i come from anymore.
I've stayed here now since 1998. That's twelve years... i'm 39, so that makes it almost a third of my life. So where do i come from? I've certainly paid more tax here than i ever have in Singapore, and if i went back to Singapore now... where would i even begin. So i'm afraid my lot is here,
I went to the Crescent Arts Centre yesterday. It was very quiet. We are going to be working with them as part of their opening celebrations, and i can't wait. I've always loved the Crescent and their really right on agenda, the boogies they organise, and the leftish slant it has. Belfast is so cool.
Am going to clean up the fireplace, prep the fire to be lit tonight and then do the laundry and the dishes. I must just have to come home early from work since it was so cold there. In the corridors we could see the condensation of our breaths and i've now lost my voice having exposed myself to that kind of sedentary coldness. It's ok if you're running around. I ran around the in forest during lunch time, if only to warm myself up!
Ah urad dhall and brown rice. I've become very fond of brown rice too. It has great texture and is so good for you.
